The team is back! We're a little tired, but completely thrilled at all the wonderful brand new products we saw and in some cases had a chance to use. From the new ribbon cutter from Imaginisce and the Lucky 8 Punch from WeR Memory Keepers, to the beautiful papers from Crate, Doodlebug, Bo Bunny and more. We also had a chance to use the incredible Embossibilities from Spellbinders. All we can say is you MUST have some of these! Save up a little extra money because over the next few months some of the best products we have ever seen will be hitting store shelves!
Of course in order to prepare you a little for what's coming we need to share what we saw right? We are only to happy to tempt and enable you...lol!
Two of the nicest girls at the show...April Foster from Studio Calico and Elizabeth Kartchner from American Crafts, the creator of "Dear Lizzy".

Two more amazing girls, Vicki Boutin and Amy Tan!

And it's a wrap! CHA was amazing, fun, exhausting but above all else INSPIRING! We know many of you could not be there but hope these images help you to feel a part of it all. Be sure to join us tomorrow as along the way I picked up a thing or two for YOU ;)
